Hello! My name is Jacobi. I made Eyecandy. I'm appreciating seeing suggestions. Is there anything you want me to try on the website? Anything I could improve?

Looks great, thanks for the experience!

Personally I'd like a "table of contents" where you get the title, a summary and an example. Then you could scroll and learn a bit about all techniques, clicking in one that piqued your interest.

I'm not sure if that's easy or not. Let me know if I can help.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yea. Maybe tell me what this site is about?

It's a visual technique library for the creative industry. Ad-folk, Directors, Cinematographers, Editors, and Creatives in general. It's a compilation (library) of all the best techniques categorized by type.

That isn’t at all obvious from the frontpage.

You probably want to keep the design lean, so just a simple “about” in small font would help to explain.

The autoloading is also problematic on mobile/tablet but others already chipped in with solutions.

I can't wait for the day I can make photo-realistic full length movies with spoken dialogue and different camera effects entirely using an AI-generation / AI-enhanced tool. I have a feeling those days are coming soon.

I'd never really considered it before, but people replacing a large portion of their media consumption with self-made media could buttress, if not accelerate the echo chamber effect.

I think people would consume less media if they could make their own. I know I care less for things I can make myself. When you have a nagging feeling you could always go back and improve the thing you'll start noticing each imperfection then get bored after a hour of tweaking

My monthly mobile data plan consumed in seconds. I hate html video autoplays, especially on mobile! Unfortunatelly it appears that it is currently not possible to disable it in Kiwi browser... EDIT: someone on Reddit suggested AutoplayStopper extension

There should be a warning in the title, "(website has large data size)" or somethlike that.

A few of the datamoshing examples (Sleazyworld Go, Duda Beat) are just normal vfx and not actually datamoshing. Datamoshing is just reusing the motion tracking done by video codecs intended to provide compression in unintended ways.

Datamoshing is one effect that I don't think I'll ever process as an effect instead of an error (and as a result, I don't like it). My brain simply won't process it as "effect". I think it's from my history of downloading videos that had errors which produced the effect. Especially back in the slower less-reliable internet days, it was always soooo annoying to have spent hours downloading something only to have a gli…
